Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Polaris, also known as the North Star, is located very close to the north celestial pole, which means it is always above the northern horizon for observers in the mid-northern hemisphere. It does, however, appear to move in a small circle around the pole, so its position in the sky changes slightly throughout the night and from night to night.
